UCLA beats ASU with defense and 3s

It’s been said that the one thing UCLA basketball couldn’t do was score from outside.

Never mind.

The Bruins not only did what they usually do (dominate on defense), but after a slow start, UCLA’s offense got on a roll, making 10 of 20 three-pointers en route to a 70-49 win. Darren Collison was 5 for 6 and Josh Shipp was 4 for 8 from outside the arc, breaking out of his 0 for 20 slump.

The Bruins looked like they were in postseason form, completely shutting down Arizona State’s offense and out-rebounding them by a wide margin (33 to 19) — which is good since March Madness is only a few weeks away.

31 days ’til Opening Day

There are 31 days left until that best day of the year, MLB’s Opening Day.

Your first Angels’ box score of spring training can be found here.

It’s completely irrelevant — I highly doubt the Angels will have too many tie games this season unless Bud Selig follows the team all-year long. But it’s good to see game recaps and box scores again. Just 31 days left until the box scores are real and actually matter people.
